Whether you are in start-up or already up-and-running and need professional business counseling, we can help! A simple phone call will link you with one of our experienced Certified Business Advisors (CBA's). During an initial one-on-one counseling session, your CBA will assist you in developing a "strategic plan of action" to be used as your guide in achieving your business related goals and objectives.

In the weeks and months that follow, your CBA will continue to provide advice and directions with respect to objectives you have set for your business. This may include writing a business plan, drafting a cash flow projection, completing a marketing study or even gathering information to visit a lender, just to name a few.

Because we are part of a regional network of business services, we also have the ability to link you with outside experts, if needed. Examples of some of these services include, but are not limited to, the International Trade Assistance Center, the Southern Area Manufacturing Center, the Procurement Technical Assistance Center, and the Minority Contractor's Business Assistance Center.
